Can I be fined for reporting trademark infringement and then withdrawing the lawsuit?
Legal subjectivity:

(a) without the permission of the trademark registrant, using the same or similar trademark on the same kind of goods or similar goods may cause confusion; (2) selling goods that infringe the registered trademark right; (3) Forging or making without authorization a trademark logo identical or similar to the registered trademark logo of others, or selling a trademark logo identical or similar to the registered trademark logo of others that is forged or made without authorization; (four) without the consent of the trademark registrant, the registered trademark is changed and the goods with the changed trademark are put on the market again; (5) It is misleading to use marks identical with or similar to other people's registered trademarks as commodity names or commodity decorations on identical or similar commodities; (6) Deliberately providing convenient conditions such as storage, transportation, mailing, concealment, processing, production tools, production technology or business premises for infringing upon the trademark rights of others; (seven) using the same or similar words as the registered trademark of others as the name of the enterprise on the same or similar goods, or using them in other ways, highlighting its identification function, which is easy to mislead the relevant public; (8) Copying, imitating or translating a well-known trademark registered by others or its main part as a trademark on different or dissimilar goods, misleading the public and possibly harming the interests of the registrant of the well-known trademark; (9) It is easy to mislead the relevant public by registering words identical with or similar to other people's registered trademarks as domain names and conducting e-commerce of related commodities promotion or commodity trading through the domain names. (10) causing other damage to the exclusive right to use a registered trademark of others.

Legal objectivity:

Generally speaking, an infringement must have four elements: first, there is an illegal act; Second, there are damaging facts; Third, there is a causal relationship between illegal acts and damage facts; Fourth, the actor must be subjectively at fault. Trademark infringement is a special kind of civil infringement. (1) is illegal. Illegal behavior means that the behavior of the actor violates the provisions of the Trademark Law, the Regulations for the Implementation of the Trademark Law and other relevant laws, that is, the actor uses the same or similar trademark with another person's registered trademark on the same or similar goods without the permission of the trademark registrant, or hinders the trademark registrant from exercising the exclusive right to use the trademark. The existence of trademark infringement is a prerequisite for the formation of infringement. (2) The fact that there is damage is a special condition in trademark infringement. As for the fact of damage, it can be material damage or non-material damage. Substantial damage refers to reducing or eliminating the economic interests of trademark registrants. Non-material damage refers to the damage and depreciation to the commodity reputation and corporate image of the obligee due to the infringement of the exclusive right to use a trademark. Intangible damage was intangible and incalculable at that time, but it would eventually lead to the damage of the property interests of the obligee. In practice, the identification of material damage should be borne by the infringer, while the identification of non-material damage is difficult to bear the burden of proof, so the infringer does not need to bear the burden of proof. As long as there is an illegal act, it is considered as immaterial damage, and the infringed person can ask to stop the infringement. (3) There is a causal relationship between the illegal act and the damage facts, and the causal relationship is different from the damage facts. The illegal act of infringing the exclusive right to use a trademark has caused the objective existence of the damage facts, so there is a causal relationship between the infringement and the damage facts. For example, the quality of a fake brand-name wine is very poor, and consumers will mistakenly think that the quality of a brand-name wine has declined after drinking it. This is the causal relationship between tort and damage consequences. The fact that the damage is caused by other reasons does not constitute a constituent element of trademark infringement. (IV) Subjective Fault of the Actor The new trademark law deletes the word "knowing" in Item (2) of Article 38 of the original law, that is, it cancels the subjective element of determining the infringement of this act and confirms the application of the principle of "no-fault liability". In other words, regardless of the subjective intention or negligence of the infringer, he should bear legal responsibility. When identifying trademark infringement, we can start from the above four aspects, including the subjective fault of the actor, the causal relationship between illegal behavior and damage facts, the occurrence of damage facts and the existence of illegal behavior. At this time, the suspected behavior can be identified more accurately.
